PoliticsUkrainians ‘disillusioned, outraged’ as Zelensky ‘reshuffles entire government’ to dismiss defence minister

François Picard welcomes Daria Kaleniuk, executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Center, to discuss Ukraine’s latest defence leadership shake-up. Kaleniuk portrays the move as more than a routine personnel change. In her analysis, the dismissal of the reformist defence minister reflects a struggle over the future direction of wartime governance. She presents it as a contest between institutional models focused on transparency, competitive procurement, civilian oversight and data-driven administration.
